Why Pregnancy Yoga Class?
A Pregnancy yoga class teaches postural awareness and helps in realigning your
changing body. You will develop strength in the legs, softness and
openness in the pelvis, and learn to support your vulnerable back.
Gentle stretches opening chest and shoulders provide more space to
breathe, more room for the growing baby, and counteract "feeding hunch"
before it begins. Pelvic floor exercises are the best preparation for
quick post-natal recovery.
By balancing hormonal upsets yoga can help support emotional upheaval,
while yogic relaxation is essential for rejuvenating a tired pregnant
body, and for helping you deal with uncomfortable nights.
In class you will have time for being with your baby, and to connect
with your mothering instincts before birth. You will develop your inner
resources and prepare for the big day.
Pregnancy Yoga supports you as a mother, just as you look after your baby. It is
deeply steadying and grounding. It can relieve anxiety both by a sense
of well-being gained through the practice, and by developing a community
spirit by sharing experiences with other mothers-to-be.
There are many benefits in attending
a pregnancy yoga class during pregnancy, benefits that are far beyond
what you can receive in a regular yoga class.
Regular
attendance assures that you will consistently practice these exercises
for greater benefits.
Pre-requisite: 12+ weeks pregnant
